    The last can release was Saturday the 18th and they said the next release would be in "less than two weeks" according to their twitter.
    I'm hoping for Friday because I'm heading down to Kane on Saturday.

    That would also be cool but friday is ideal for me because I get paid that day and would be able to afford more cans :grinning:

    Agreed, would be nice if they did another weekday release. I can't make Saturday releases usually

    Yeah I can't make it this weekend either--wifey and I have 7 more weddings this summer/fall. It will probably end up being Galaxy + Mosaic + OH/Trillium collabo that's a combo of Artaic + Hop Showers called Artaic Showers

    Don't even tease that!!

    FWIW - I was at the taproom last Wednesday and was told that they were shooting for the Galaxy can release to be this Wednesday, but I haven't any idea if that panned out...

    Any word if this is a solo Galaxy release? Or are we looking at one other beer being canned.

    I'm new to the area & am wondering how yall hear what they are releasing? Through their social media exclusively (twitter/ ig)? Or does someone have insider information here?

    Also is there any other borough breweries that have regular brewery only releases yall keep up with?

    OH posts on facebook, twitter and instagram in advance of their releases. You can also just follow these threads as someone will relay the info here.

    No other brewery in the area does any brewery only can/bottles releases...at least not yet.

    But all the transmitter bottles go to shops, right?..he was asking about brewery only.

    Singlecut, Finback, Grimm, Kelso, Bronx, etc all bottle/can, but they don't do any brewery only releases.

    I understand this isn't the same as brewery only bottle/can releases, but it's worth going to Singlecut for some of the beers they have on tap that aren't bottled and don't appear appear around town much.

    Awesome! To those who were there for the previous weekday release, was it just as busy as the weekend releases? I won't be able to get out of work and over there until probably 7:00/7:30pm at the earliest. Hope I don't get shut out.

    Last time they did a non-weekend can release they opened a few hours early--wasn't it like 3 or 4 PM on a Thursday? I think cans lasted until the next day if I remember correctly.

    If I remember correctly, last week day release they started a few hours early and there was still a large number of people there early waiting before opening. After the initial wave it did slow down and cans lasted till the next day. I have a feeling it will be similar this time around and possibly busier because it's AGE and the first can release of Galaxy
